There are many forms for preventing a food waste or simply for preventing that the food damage. and then of wasting food there are some options you can take, you can transform the food into raw materials or you can use the food as a fertilizer to your garden and plants, you can reuse food in many ways and prevent that in the future we don´t have as much as waste as we have today, so decide if you want to gave the same opportunity of food that you have to your children.

The use of food waste as a protein
source for animal feed - current status
and technological development in Japan
Food waste used to be well utilized as animal feed in Japan. The use of food
waste, however, declined due to the introduction of commercial concentrate
feed and high performance exotic breeds, accompanied by a change of
producer’s strategy in pursuing more efficient production. The quantity and
quality of food waste also altered due to a change in lifestyle. The system used
in the past can no longer be applied. The relatively low price of imported
animal products and feed, due to foreign currency rates, has also been
disturbing the efficient use of food waste as animal feed in Japan.
While some of the food industry’s by-products, whose quality and quantity
do not fluctuate, are being used as a part of dried concentrate feed or Total
Mixed Rations (TMR), the quality of most food wastes fluctuates considerably
and its safety is of concern. Consequently, its use as animal feed is limited.
Such wastes have been incinerated and put into landfill. This process induces
emission of global warming gases and toxic substances such as dioxin and
heavy metals. It is reported that the amount of food waste in Japan is 20 million
tonnes per year, of which the amount used for fertilizer and feed are 3 percent
and 5 percent, respectively .
In order to alleviate the environmental burden from food waste, a foodrecycling law has been in force since May, 2001. Under this legislative system,
many projects have been initiated. Most of activities have been related to the
production of compost but, as there has been limited acceptance of this by crop
farmers, it was proposed that the waste which can be safely used should be
In September 2001, just after the introduction of this law, an incidence of
Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) was reported in Japan. So far, only
three cases of BSE have been diagnosed. This created a serious problem for the
activities promoted by the food-recycling law. The use of food waste
containing mammalian meat was temporarily banned. It was announced later
by the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, however, that food waste
containing meats, which were originally processed for human consumption,
could be fed to swine, but not to ruminants.
To change the feeding system from the one based on imported concentrate to
a recycling system, it is necessary to develop a series of technologies, as
follows:
Feed evaluation
• Processing
• Feeding system
• Meat quality
• Feed safety
This two links are about things you can do to food when you wasted
one of the links said that the food can be a raw material for manufacturing things
so its like a recycling process were you can prevent food waste.
This Video shows what is our responsibility then of food waste, we can transform food waste
in this video it shows how the food waste of your kitchen
can transform to a very good fertilizer for your plants or for your garden

RESPONSIBILITY
( What is our responsibility ? )

Or responsibility is to try to stop the food waste
by not throwing your food to the trash and learning how
to eat healthy food more often and instead of throwing it eat it
to help those group that are trying to stop the food waste,
and if you are parents try to help your children to learn to eat well with
healthy food, one of the factors of food waste is the presentation so
the ones who serve the food need to change their presentation and quality.
